Hey! Thanks a lot for taking such interest in my problems! :D Here are the version numbers.
bash-4.1$ sudo yum info ffmpeg Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge: mirror.awanti.com Available Packages Name : ffmpeg Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.6.5 Release : 1.el6.rf Size : 2.7 M Repo : rpmforge Summary : Utilities and libraries to record, convert and stream audio and video URL : http://ffmpeg.org/ License : GPL Description : FFmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter. It can also grab from a : live audio/video source. : The command line interface is designed to be intuitive, in the sense that : ffmpeg tries to figure out all the parameters, when possible. You have : usually to give only the target bitrate you want. FFmpeg can also convert : from any sample rate to any other, and resize video on the fly with a high : quality polyphase filter. : : Available rpmbuild rebuild options : : --without : lame vorbis theora faad faac gsm xvid x264 a52dec altivec bash-4.1$ java -version java version "1.6.0_32" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_32-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.7-b02, mixed mode) bash-4.1$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Dec 14 10:08 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/local/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/java lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/javac -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/javac lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/javac.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javac-java-1.6.0-openjdk.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/javadoc -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/javadoc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/javadoc.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javadoc-java-1.6.0-openjdk.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/javah -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/javah lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/javah.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javah-java-1.6.0-openjdk.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/javap -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/javap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/javap.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javap-java-1.6.0-openjdk.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Dec 12 22:13 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.6.0 -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Dec 12 22:13 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.6.0_exports -> /usr/lib/jvm-exports/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_exports -> /usr/lib/jvm-exports/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Dec 12 22:13 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_openjdk -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Dec 12 22:13 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_openjdk_exports -> /usr/lib/jvm-exports/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Dec 14 10:04 /etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/local/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/javaws bash-4.1$ pdf2swf --version pdf2swf - part of swftools 0.9.1 bash-4.1$ ffmpeg -version ffmpeg version 0.10.6 built on Dec 12 2012 22:26:19 with gcc 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4) configuration: --enable-libmp3lame libavutil 51. 35.100 / 51. 35.100 libavcodec 53. 61.100 / 53. 61.100 libavformat 53. 32.100 / 53. 32.100 libavdevice 53. 4.100 / 53. 4.100 libavfilter 2. 61.100 / 2. 61.100 libswscale 2. 1.100 / 2. 1.100 libswresample 0. 6.100 / 0. 6.100 bash-4.1$ sox --version sox: SoX v14.2.0 I'd like to replace ffmpeg above compiled by myself with the package maintainer's version if possible.
